Re: Does Net-SNMP support AES192 or AES256?

Simon,
Those options have to be enabled in the configure options. I suggest
building with the following configure options:
    --with-transports="DTLSUDP" --with-security-modules="tsm"

There might be other configure options that you need to make it work.

Just note though that SNMPv3 RFC _does not_ specify AES192 and AES256;
they specified some older algorithms that were "latest and greatest"
at the time it was being drafted :(

Thanks,
Keith
Thanks,
Keith
